Chippendale, New South Wales-based Glass Fence Pros has recently issued a public advisory on the importance of a quality pool fence installation.

“Having a new swimming pool at home is an exciting time for the entire family. However, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), accidental drowning is the leading cause of premature death of children aged 1-3 years, in Australia,” says Jeannie Watson of Glass Fence Pros.

This is the reason why the Australian government has mandated several pool safety laws and standards, however these depend on when the pool was constructed. The Australian Standard AS1926-2012, being the latest one, is currently being enforced to New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia, and the Australian Capital Territory. It states that a pool fence must be constructed at least 1.2 meters high, and must not have more than a 10 centimeter gap at the bottom when measured from ground level. If the fence will be along the property line and act as a boundary fence, it’s minimum height should be at least 1.8 meters. More specific details and information can be found on the NSW Fair Trading website.

Glass Fence Pros’ website at https://glass-fence-pros.business.site/, explains that they are offering custom frameless glass panels to fit any design aesthetic or space parameters. “We are a team of experts, who install quality and highly rated fences in Sydney and New South Wales. We offer homeowners a wide variety of affordable glass fencing solutions, including semi-frameless, curved, even customized and specialist pieces,” Watson added.

In addition, our installers are thorough and fast, while our inspectors are certified by councils all over Sydney and New South Wales,” she added.

According to Watson, finding a reliable contractor that can provide high quality fencing materials and a reliable service is very important. Firstly, a sturdy pool enclosure ensures the safety of the children. Unfortunate incidents may happen, and a quality pool fence will reduce the risk of an injury/death, it ensures that children only have access to the pool, when there are available adults to supervise. It also ensures the safety of a nearby pet. Australia is known for its biodiversity, and a reliable fence will prevent stray animals from accidentally falling into the pool.

Opting for a glass fence is a great option for multiple reasons. Firstly, glass fences make small and big yards look even bigger. Secondly, unlike wood fences, it doesn’t cause an eyesore or block a scenic view, because it is transparent. Thirdly, glass fences fit any yard landscape, and are aesthetically flexible to changes. Finally, they can withstand extreme weather changes, and aren’t as prone to wear and tear, when compared to other fencing materials.
